Parental alienation involves the systematic brainwashing, poisoning and manipulation of children with the sole purpose of destroying a loving and warm relationship they once shared with a parent. My story involves this form of child abuse & exploring the bias favouring a mother in the social ecosystem around Family Law.

I have met and heard the tragic stories of many parents. PA is a function, by and large, of a custodial ex-partner, although some alienation can start while the couple is still together.

This blog is a story of experiences and observations of dysfunctional Family Law (FLAW), an arena pitting parent against parent, with children as the prize. Due to the gender bias in Family Law, that I have observed, this Blog has evolved from a focus solely on PA to one of the broader Family/Children's Rights area and the impact of Feminist mythology on Canadian Jurisprudence and the Divorce Industry.

Just for fun I'm going to keep a list of sites I discover that oppose Bill #C-422 and then also just for fun try and see what the political leaning is. I'm Apolitical not having any particular leaning with the exception of away from the NDP, typical socialists who operate in a vacuous wasteland of whining about whatever appears to get sound bites on any particular day. They are the "No Dads Party" but perhaps they will see the equalism in keeping children in the lives of both fit parents, or ideology may block it as is the case of the socialists in the UK. The public opinion poll shows NDP voters favour equal parenting.As a student of Politics, a non religious person (agnostic for those of you who like labels) and a student of human nature it allows for my intellectual (what there is of it) curiosity to see where ideology crosses over from fairness, common sense and in the case of the new brand of feminism, an explanation (or not) of how it strayed from equality for all to the "I'm an oppressed victim of the patriarchy", (we men). I also like to compare these North American Victim Feminists (there are men that fit this definition as well as you will see) to real oppression such as we have seen with the drowning of the 4 women at the hands of real and deadly patriarchs lurking inside a religion.These are the ones so far and please note how they link to one another or use quotes from other articles that fit their political or ideological viewpoint.http://www.rabble.ca/babble/canadian-politics/maurice-vellacotts-private-bill-c-422-bad-news-mothers-and-children This article is on a very left wing site and the author martin dufresne is a long standing feminist, albeit of the male variety. I have always wanted to find out why men like Dufresne get so ideologically wrapped around a female centric, currently a victim oriented version of feminism. He operates a Montreal based translation service here. Are men like him self-loathing in that they condemn - not just one man - but all men as unfit to be a parent? I think it says a lot about him but not much about the rest of us.Martin Dufresne is a profeminist activist based in Quebec. Long involved with Montreal Men Against Sexism, he monitors Male Lobby activity, notably the so-called "fathers' rights" movement and "alternatives to justice" for wife batterers and child rapists. He is a co-founder of FIVERS (Feminists against Intimate Violence Empowerment, Resistance and Support), an international Internet discussion list dedicated to ending sexist violence.

Here is a little bit of his propaganda which has no citations as usual:

The organization Quebec Men Against Sexism (Secretary: Martin Dufresne: martin@laurentides.net) sent out this press release to commemorate the Montreal Massacre, which it calls a "terrorist attack." Here's a bit of it:

(Quebec City, November 24, 2004)--A detailed database assembled by Quebec Men Against Sexism indicates that no fewer than 594 women and 172 children and youths have been murdered by men (or by unknown parties) in Quebec since the antifeminist rampage of December 1989 at Ecole Polytechnique. And these are only the cases where bodies have been found and identified and victim names made public, an acknowledgement often denied to children and to...This site http://canadawomen.blogspot.com/2009/07/bill-c-422-equal-shared-parenting.html is a Victim Feminist location operated by an unidentified person. Anonymity has its perks I guess.This site is operated by a Grandmother named Emily Dee from Kingston, ON who switched from being a red-Tory to a liberal. (No apparent difference that I can discern but I am not suggesting it is a bad thing). What she may not understand is Count Iggy her new political guru supports equal shared parenting in one of his books. She may have to go to the No Dads Party which is a tad further left again. She quotes Dufresne's article and is entitlement oriented and concerned about the religious right. I hadn't heard of the Promise Keepers for a very long time until reading this.
This is an interesting blog hit with the referral emanating from a private que on rabble.ca the leftist ideologue site. It is a taxpayer supported institution that is now called E-health - yes the one with all the scandals. Is it also a hot bed of feminism? We'll see. I'm recording the info for now just in case we taxpayers are being abused again with employees using government computers and time for personal use. I also see one from Ryerson University so the feminist network may be gearing up for greater opposition.

Favourite Quotes

“The job of a father is this : to help his children develop, to teach them to express and master their emotions; to avoid physiological distress, to provide a context for their experiences; to help them persevere, reach their goals and take on responsibilities; and to instil the roles of citizen, partner and parent. In short, it is to fill their bellies with bread, their brains with wisdom and their hearts with love and courage.” Camil Bouchard, “On Father’s Ground” 2002.

Some men see things as they are and say, "Why?" I dream of things that never were and say, "Why not?" ~ George Bernard Shaw ~ also quoted by Robert F. Kennedy, US Senator and Presidential Candidate assassinated in 1968.

Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length. ~ Robert Frost

Some Gems on relationships

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is a husband.

The motto of this Father's Rights Activist

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again ... and who, at the worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt,

Facts on violence in Canada Domestic and Otherwise

Family violence in Canada: A statistical profile, 2009.

Of the nearly 19 million Canadians who had a current or former spouse in 2009, 6.2% or 1.2 million reported they had been victimized physically or sexually by their partner or spouse during the five years prior to the survey. This proportion was stable from 2004 (6.6%), the last time the victimization survey was conducted, and down from 1999 (7.4%).

A similar proportion of men and women reported experiencing spousal violence during the five years prior to the survey. Among men, 6.0% or about 585,000, encountered spousal violence during this period, compared with 6.4% or 601,000 women.

Profile

I am Politically active and right of centre on most issues with the odd exception such as legalization of "Mary Jane".
I advocate on changes to Family Law - an incredibly dysfunctional arena where parents are pitted against one another and children are the victims.
My picture will sometimes show me as a younger man simply because I like them.

An Alienated Child

Is a troubled child

American Coalition for Fathers & Children Petition

A quote by a well known Canadian Jurist

The Honorable Justice John Gomery of Canada stated, “Hatred is not an emotion that comes naturally to a child. It has to be taught. A parent who would teach a child to hate the other parent represents a grave and persistent danger to the mental and emotional health of that child.”

(The above quote arises from PSM vs. AJC, a decision rendered by Mr. Justice John Gomery on February 15 1991 (SCM 500-12-184613895), and confirmed by the unanimous judgment of the Court of Appeal on June 14 1991, the trial judge was confronted by a case involving four children caught up in a heated custody battle between their parents whereby the children became "catastrophically" alienated from their mother.)A good paper on PAS for lawyers by a lawyer, Anne-France Goldwater (Avocate), and excerpts from the above trial are located here.
